brushing teeth, mine
i fell asleep brushing my teeth
thinking how my grandmother used to like
Saturday TV with the midgets wrestling
"Your mother's mother?" she asked
"Yes," I said.
"That figures."
now what was that supposed to mean?
i gave her a sharp look, i did
you should have seen it.
anyway i didn't really fall asleep
zoned out into brushing land
more like it.
a mild trance state
perfectly normal
it happens, right?

Since brushing teeth becomes such an automatic, repetitive thing, it is possible to "zone out" while brushing teeth. I've been sleepy, but I've never fallen asleep- something about that arm action and the need to rinse and spit, preventing it.
